FC Cologne after talks between the two clubs failed to reach an agreement. It's a frustrating development for all parties involved as they look to strengthen their squads. This move is off for now, though speculation continues around Said El Mala, who has also been linked with Newcastle, Chelsea and Brentford. 1. FC Cologne have also been linked with Thijs Dallinga while Dortmund are reportedly monitoring Ioannis Konstantelias and Hector Fort.
